In this stand-alone episode we have an interview with Christopher Huang, who is the author of the recently-released detective novel "A Gentleman's Murder." This is a slight departure from the BFWWP's usual lineup, but I thought it would be good to support a young author writing a story in which the Great War has a strong presence.

"A Gentleman's Murder" was a fun read. The main character of the story, Leftenant Eric Peterkin, is a veteran of the trenches in Flanders and France as are nearly every other member of the gentleman's club to which he belongs. Peterkin takes it upon himself to solve an unprecedented murder in the club when he suspects the case is not exactly going to be solved by the police.

Christopher Huang grew up in Singapore and moved to Canada when he was 17 years old. He returned to Singapore the following year for two years of military service, before going to McGill University in Montreal to study Architecture. He currently lives in Montreal, and these days he is pursuing the dream of writing full-time. Mr. Huang is a longtime fan of the "golden age" of detective fiction, and in that spirit he writes his debut novel in the hopes that readers will figure out on their own who the killer is.

"A Gentleman's Murder" is available through the Inkshares site, local booksellers, and Amazon. Links to the book will be provided in the episode description, as well on the website post and social media. Check out the book, and support an up and coming author. Hope you enjoy!
